Understand Time

I think that this lesson would be well suited for third graders who are working with telling time. This activity is great because it integrates telling time with a digital clock, an analog clock, and using words to describe time. Students always seem to have trouble with word problems, so this is some great extra practice for that as well.
Go to http://www.hbschool.com/thinkmath/topics/time_money.html
Under the Time section in red, scroll to the bottom and select Understand Time. The goal of the activity is to match the words and numbers to the clocks provided. Not only is it a math activity, but also a memory/matching game. I plan to use this activity after doing several lessons on time. Students must first be familiar with time using numbers, words, and an analog clock.

Telling Time

Go to http://www.hbschool.com/teacher_resources/math/grade_01/g1_time.html
Small group instruction - (use student Judy clocks) Have students set their clocks to a time that is stated while the teacher sets time on a big clock. Once everyone is finished, everyone reveals their clocks. Does it match the teacher's clock? Discuss different ways to say/write the same time. Allow students to give a time to the group and follow the same procedure.
This game will serve as extra practice for any student who is struggling to tell time. After extra practice time, quiz students on various times. Students should be able to set the clock and tell at least two ways to say the same time.

Telling Time to the Minute

I found this game on the Harcourt Math Online Resource
http://www.hbschool.com/activity/telling_time_gr3/
This is a good game to practice telling time to the minute after the students already have a good understanding of telling time.
This game is great because it uses different ways of saying the time. My students need practice telling the time as before the hour and after the hour as well as using "a quarter" to say 15 minutes. The answer choices use all of these options-both as read on a digital clock and also in words.
